G3X Touch in GPS Failure

[rjtjrt]

I have tried to search for this topic but nothing came up, to my surprise.
I am interested in if G3X Touch will show magnetic compass info if GPS fails, ot GPS denied environment. I strongly suspect this has been covered in past but again, search did not show it.

Yes it will, from magnetometer data. Remember the gps only knows track, not heading.
Perhaps of some concern is that gps data is one of the redundant inputs used to reach a stable attitude solution.
